Hello,

I tried to use the following Python code to upload a file to HubSpot, the code was copied from [this](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/methods/files/post_files) link:

```auto
import requests
files = {'files': open('/path/on/your/local-computer/report.xls', 'rb')}
r = requests.post(
 'http://api.hubapi.com/filemanager/api/v2/files?hapikey=demo', 
 data={
 "folder_paths": "folder-in-the-cos-file-manager/subfolder"
 },
 files=files)

```

I ran this script but there was no response from the Linux shell. In addition I couldn’t find the uploaded file in HubSpot..

Questions:

I1. s there a problem with this API example? I saw a few people that asked a simillar question.

2. How do you run this code with the curl command?

Thanks,

Yoram

Please disregard, I found the uploaded files under Marketing/File Manager.
